In Memory of my Clive 5/4/98 - 1/26/08

Clive is his young days at the lake. One of his favorite places to be.

Clive went peacefully to the Rainbow Bridge this morning at his home. Everyone's kind words have been read and appreciated. I have no more words to express the loss I feel from my little baby. He was the best little furbaby ever. He always wanted to please me -- and he did. Clive is now playing with his brother, Buster, in heaven. I can only imagine what a wonderful reunion that was.

We will miss all our new friends. I'll start another blog and keep visiting you all often.

Dear Kathy our hearts are breaking and tears are falling. We will have you and your family in our prayers for comfort. Clive and Buster will enjoy God's Garden till they reunite with you. May his beautiful memories help in the healing path.

I also want to let you know how sorry I am to hear this news. Clive was one of the lucky ones to have had so much love for all of his life. I am glad he is free of pain and running with Buster at the Bridge. I know you need to grieve but I also know that someday you will be able to look back at your time with Clive and remember it with same love and laughter you had as you experienced it. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Kathy - We are so saddened to hear about Clive...There are never any "right words" at a time such as this...You are in our hearts & minds & prayers...We know Clive is with all the other buddies at Rainbow Bridge...playing & painfree..I know my brother Dublin is playing with him now...he went to the bridge in March of 07....everyday still hurts...but we still laugh & smile & cry at his funny memories & quirks he left us....May your ache ease with time, but we know his memory & love will be with your forever.

I'm so shocked & devastated to hear about Clive...I was thinking about Clive the whole day & was hoping that he would show some improvements. Hugs to you Kathy. He will be remembered by all his new friends. My thoughts & prayers are with you...

Hi Kathy, we've heard about Clive, and although we do not know him, its really sad to lose a loved one..Remember, Clive is up there now, feeling happy and joyful. Do not worry too much!We're really sorry about Clive.Hugs,BrandytheGreat and Gang.

We are so very sorry about Clive. There are no words than can make you feel better, but just know there are a lot of us out here in blogland that share your pain. Clive will be waiting for you at the bridge while he runs free and without pain.

My heart is broken too Kathy, Clive was just the best chap ever. Even though I did not know him, I could see by your blog and the photos, how much he was loved. Tears are streaming down my face, cos he should have lived a lot longer.

My Marvin is only a year younger and yet I would break my darn whole heart is this happened to him.

The music on the video was played at my beloved Pa's funeral, and still makes me cry.

I tried to find a video which was Clive like, ok Pandas not Clive like, but he was so white and so darn beautiful.

Please look after yourself and take time to grieve, love and light Jeannie xxxxx and Marvin xxxxxx

Kathy, all of us in our pack are so sorry to hear of Clive's passing. We know how hard a time this can be, but be comforted to know that he is at peace and out of pain. He and Buster are reunited and runnig free on the other side of the Bridge. Our prayers and best wishes are with you. Tasha, Eva, Vicky, and Doug.

We are so sorry to hear this...but you're right, he's resting peacefully in doggy heaven and playing with his brother Buster. We barely knew him...but we can tell that there he was a very special doggy.. Our prayers are with you!Wags and licks,Maya and Kena

Oh Kathy, I'm just devastated. I'm so sorry to hear about Clive. I loved all the photos you posted of Clive and stories about his dogventures. Our sympathies to you. We are very sorry for your loss. ~Hana and her Mom

I just read about clive... i'm so very sorry about all of this... i didn't expect this to happen so fast. I'm sure he is having fun with his brother over the rainbow bridge... I'm crying for the loss of such a wonderful pup.

I'll be sending hopes and prayers your way. Clive will never be forgotten.

So sorry to hear about your loss. I am glad that Clive went quietly and it is wonderful to see from your blog how loved he was and what a great life that he lived. You were very lucky have fond each other.

Kathy,I am so sorry about the loss of your fluffy furbaby Clive. He was such a good boy, even when he growled at me and wagged his tail! I know he had to protect his momma until he was sure that I was OK. I will miss petting him and seeing you two on your walks. Maybe Clive and Tachi will be friends at the Rainbow Bridge! Hang in there and know that I am close by if you need a hug or someone to talk to.Lori

We're sad too to hear that Clive has left you. No matter whether we knew him or not, it's always tearful to lose one of our furry pals. We know how sweet he was, and how much you loved him. But now he's with his other pals and no longer suffering so our thoughts are with you and we hope his memories will fill that ache in your heart.

Kathy,I am so very sorry for your loss! There is nothing I can say that will make you feel better! Clive knew how much his mommy loved him! You were a great mom to him! Grieve and Cry-we are all here for you!

We are so sorry to learn that Clive crossed the bridge. We will miss reading about his adventures. We are sure he is playing happily and pain free on the other side of the bridge and knows how very much he was loved.Sending pawsitive thoughts your way...Comet and BLU

When a dog first arrives in Heaven,He just runs.Dog Heaven has clear, wide lakesfilled with geese who honk and flapand tease. The dogs love this.

They run beside the water and barkAnd bark and God watches themFrom behind a tree and smiles.

There are children,Of course.Angel children.

God knows that dogs love children more thanAnything else in the world, so He fills DogHeaven with plenty of them. There are childrenOn bikes and children on sleds. There areChildren throwing red rubber balls and childrenPulling kites through the clouds. The dogsAre there, and the children love them dearly.

And, oh,the dog biscuitsAs far as the eye can see.

God has a sense of humour, so He makes HisBiscuits in funny shapes for His dogs. ThereAre kitty-cat biscuits and squirrel biscuits.Ice-cream biscuits and ham-sandwich biscuits.

Every angel who passes byHas a biscuit for a dog.And, of course, all God’s dogsSit when the angels say “sit.”

Every dog becomes a goodDog in Dog Heaven.

God turnsClouds inside out to make fluffy beds for the dogsIn Dog Heaven, and when theyAre tired from running andBarking and eating ham-sandwich biscuits,The dogs each find a cloud bed for sleeping.They turn around and around in the cloud……until it feels just right, and then they curl upand they sleep.

God watches over each one of themAnd there are no bad dreams.

Dogs in Dog HeavenHave almost always belonged to somebodyon Earth and, of course,the dogs remember this.Heaven is full of memories.

So sometimes an angel will walk a dogBack to Earth for a little visit and quietly,Invisibly, the dog will sniff about his oldbackyard, will investigate the cat nextdoor, will follow the child to school, willsit on the front porch and wait for the mail.

When he is satisfiedThat all is well, the dogWill return to Heaven with the angel.It is where dogs belong,Near God who made them.

The dogs in dog Heaven whoHad no real homes on EarthAre given one in Heaven.

The homes have yards and porches and there areCouches to lie on and tables to sit underWhile angels eat their dinners.There are special bowlsWith the dogs’ names on them.And each dog is petted and remindedHow good he is, all day long.

Dogs in dog Heaven may stay as long asThey like and this can mean forever.They will be there when old friends show up.They will be there at the door.Angel dogs.

We're so sorry about Clive. You were very brave to choose 'quality of life' for him - it must have been so comforting for him to be at home and to have you with him at the end. Like you said, he's free now and with his brother...

Dear Kathy, I am so sorry for your loss, please take comfort that Clive was very lucky to be part of your loving home and he is now healthy again with his friends at the Bridge. Furry hugs for you! Love, Dino

I am very sorry for your loss. Clive's blog was a favorite for us.. so many pictures and stories. He will be missed. My condolences to you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.We'll miss you Clive.

We were so sorry to hear about Clive (on Tesla's blog). There's nothing we can say to make you feel better now, but know that he is in a better place, whole, healthy and happy to see his brother again.

Our mommy knows how hard this is for you now, how lost you must be feeling. She's crying for you and your loss.

No words are going to make you feel better... but know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I believe there is a heaven with dogs that run free to do what they enjoy. He is having so much fun now.

i've been a silent reader of the blog and i can only imagine that clive is in a better place now, happy, well-rested and playing with his doggie pals over the rainbow bridge. i've lost my own girl on Christmas 07 too so I can understand how it feels. my sincerest condolences
